Timfy, 10 million and you'd still go to work?!
I would. I still want to enjoy my life and would easily get bored far too quickly without work.Of course the thing I'd do for "work" would be radically different.
a) £10 - Pocket it.
b) £100 - Buy a new cordless drill (mine just died).
c) £1000 - As above, the rest into the christmas kitty.
d) £10,000 - as above + get the formal plans drawn up for our extension and put the rest towards starting the work.
e) £100,000 - as above + pay of the car loans.
f) £1,000,000 - as above - but do the entire extension in one go - pay off the mortgages.
g) 10,000,000 - as above (or possibly move house) + retire, sort a few select family members out (pay off their mortgages etc), build an observatory with state of the art astronomy kit, buy a few others cars I like - i'd also try and buy back the Lotus Elan M100 I used to own.

c) £1000 - A new laptop or Christmas presents
d) £10,000 - Buy the missus a 2nd hand car or a decent holiday

As for cars? Really don't know! Most likely an old Landy and an Ultima for fun and a low key daily driver.

Hey! I said jaffa cakes.Cars, Houses, Watches, and Holidays.
It's like a retard's Christmas list.
What were you expecting people to spend lots of money on if not things that cost lots of money?
I suppose there are expensive things that aren't cars, houses, watches and travel. Like jewelry, weddings and horses. The PH teenage girls seem to have totally missed this thread.
You could invest it in >is already bored of this as a concept<

Buy an Autocruise Rhythm campervan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51epswzJOE8 with a trailer and an Elise or caterham and tour Europe spanking round mountain roads and doing track days.

I'd probably work only a % of the time instead of 100%, but £10 000 000 isn't that much to live on if you're going to go crazy and not work for the next (hopefully) 50+ years.a) £10. Flowers and Cava for the wife.
b) £100. As above plus 3 pairs of tickets to something at the theatre
c) £1000. ALL THE above plus Book a week in Venice for our 25th
d) £10,000. All the above plus Add £9K to my BTL fund, and move my sights a bit higher in terms of area.
,
e) £100,000 All the above, Buy second BTL.
f) £1,000,000. All the above, buy dream house, take some time off.
g) 10,000,000

What kind of things did you expect people to say. The things listed are probably just the most obvious things people thought of.Had the question been "what would be the most outlandish thing you would buy if you won......." then you may have got a bit more of this "imagination" you appear to think is lacking.
